A Birthday Wishlist

Hey sweetie pies, so next weekend it's my birthday and I can't tell you how excited I am! I think Christmas and Birthdays are just the best! I always love making wish lists because wishing is one of my favourite things too do! Here is what I really love....


For the longest time ever I have been eyeing up these gorgeous Chelsea boots from New Look and love that they aren't too expensive!
Then on my list is this lovely Leather jacket, I still can't believe that I haven't owned one in my life before! but this one is in the Topshop sale which is an added bonus.
Lastly is this beautiful Navy Blue Dress from ZARA which would look lovely with the Chelsea boots in my opinion.
What have you been wishing for recently?

Little Blue Bird for your Keys

Hello everyone! Its Back to school season after the Christmas holidays (which can be so hard, I know) and because of that, I thought I would  show you a DIY project! Today, I'm going to make a Little Blue Bird that will keep your house keys from getting lost in the black hole that is...
.... a handbag! This DIY takes a little bit of preparation but is easy if you follow these steps!


You will need:

2 pieces of blue felt
a little bit of light blue felt
a tiny bit of green felt
a bundle of thread
2 black beads for the eyes
some stuffing
some Ric-a-Rac and a piece of ribbon

Extra Embellishments (use whatever you want):
some cotton fabric (mine is dotty)
different coloured felt

Equipment:
Scissors
needle
a lanyard clip (this is the metal thing that attaches the bird to your keys, however if you don't have it the alternative is just ribbon)

and a template of a bird here is a pretty one, I used a template I had lying around!

Instructions:


Firstly cut out your templates and cut them all out. You need to cut two blue bird bodies out of blue felt, a circle for its eye out of light blue and cut two leaves out of green felt. Feel free to add any embellishments you want to your birdy..

Then sew on all the embellishments like so..


Next add the ribbon on to the bird and attach to the lanyard clip

MAC Lip Glaze 'Hue'

Hey everyone, sorry that I have been lacking in the blog post department, I just haven't been inspired to sit down and write about something that I'm not interested in. I decided this week (yes it's a little late for a New Years resolution, but I only just thought of it) that I want to post at least one post every week on a Friday. This means I will have a little routine for my blog!
Anyway, what I wanted to do today was write a review on MAC's Lip Glaze 'Hue' which is one of MAC's original colours, I believe (I think originals are the best) and I picked it up the other day. It is my first MAC product (gasp) and I love it so much. First of all can I just say that the "lid" click MAC lipsticks have is so satisfying, if you don't own one just go in to your closest store and put the lid on (I told you). Now, lets not get side tracked, the actual colour is pale pink with a tinge of nude. It has a glossy texture and doesn't dry out the lips. It is so beautiful. If your thinking of purchasing it I recommend it completely!


 
I hope you all have had a great week!

A Little Catch Up...

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a great day! I just wanted to have a little catch up and ask how are you? And how did you like Blogmas? I loved it, it was really fun but a little stressful at times. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. 2014 is literally just around the corner! Have you written your New Year resolutions yet?... I know I haven't yet! I think it's really good to have aims for the coming year and I really want to keep to them :) (I know everyone says that but it's true, a New Year means a fresh start) I also want to remember next year and look back and not regret anything (cringe alert :/). Let me know what you're going to try differently next year, I'd love to know?


 I still can't quite believe I was lucky enough to receive this gorgeous perfume, I hope you all had a fabulous time!

Christmas Dipped Strawberries

Hello everyone, I can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow, where has December gone! Before you know it, it will be 2014. That's crazy! So, I've been doing a lot of baking today and wanted to show you how to make these easy Festive dipped strawberries. You can make these right now if you want to, they would make a lovely treat for your family...




You will need:
White Chocolate Buttons
Green Sprinkles
Strawberries (of course)
a Tray
Glass bowl
Saucepan
a few bowls

Instructions:
First, wash the strawberries
Then fill the saucepan with water and place the glass bowl on top, don't use too much water though, just enough to surround the bottom of the bowl.
Next, 'eye' how much white chocolate you want to melt. Stir until smooth.
After, dip the strawberries into the white chocolate then in to the green sprinkles.
Lastly place on a tray and put in the fridge until hard.
I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Topshop Lipstick - Infrared

Hello there, Guess what?.....It's Christmas Eve eve today argh! I hope you have wrapped all your presents. Today, I wanted to do a review on Topshop's 'Infrared' Lipstick...



....First of all the packaging omg, it is so cute and feels really good quality especially as it has a really good price tag. The actual product is super pigmented and is such a beautiful burnt orange colour. In my opinion it is great for anytime of the year. Topshop lipsticks cost £8.00 and really if you think about it: a really pigmented lipstick; pretty packaging and a non-drying out consistency, this product is amazing value.


Have you tried out the Topshop Lipsticks?
